Healthcare

Medical Law practice presupposes a deep engagement with current and upcoming legal issues and a commitment to work with institutions and patients. Our experienced and dedicated team manages issues related to ethics, digital health, consent to treatment in clinical trials and personalized treatment while patients are empowered to become more involved in decisions about their own treatment and can raise malpractice issues. We also offer comprehensive training programs for clinicians and hospital administration staff including obtaining consent, avoiding breaches of confidentiality and properly recording consent in real-life scenarios. Whatever your institutional ambitions or private concerns, we will mobilize our expertise and experience to form health law solutions which deliver your objectives efficiently and effectively.

New digital technologies create unique legal challenges for businesses involved in information, technology and e-commerce.
